Where are you located and what kind of an event are you looking for?  If 
you're in the Nashua, NH area, the Granite State Wheelmen offer centuries 
every Sat morning at 8am from the Sheraton Tara off of Spit Brook Rd.  These 
are very low key affairs, no t-shirt, no patch, small group (3-5 riders 
usually), no sag, no support.  On the plus side, they offer good routes, 
detailed (and usually accurate) route sheets (tho I did get 9 extra miles last 
week 8^) ) and UMCA credit for the certifiably insane.

Also offered are shorter rides, usually 30 and 60m.

The BMB 200k (124m) Brevet is coming up on Sat, May 6.  Leaving 5am from 
Newton, Ma.  (There should be a note with the details elsewhere).  This is
also a very low key affair, tho there will be VERY limited support and a
somewhat larger crowd. 

I believe CRW has a spring Century, possibly on Sun 5/21.  This would be a 
much more 'normal' event.

I don't know of any others in the NE area.  If someone does, please post them.

    Kevin,
    
    I have been trying to get a hold of Charlie (Lamb).  Is this ride
    starting at the same place as last year's 200k, the Duck Feeding
    Area?

Yes.  We don't have an official BMB 1989 note?  I'll have to look and enter 
the info that Charlie has sent me.
